ConnectWise Report Designer Toolbar

A quick reference for every button in the ConnectWise Report Designer toolbar — save, export, SQL view, and metadata refresh.

The toolbar runs across the top of the Report Designer. Use it to save your work, export reports to external formats, and manage report metadata.
